According to BLS (labor statistics). West coast areas seem to be the forecasted hotspots through 2018. Also some areas of southern states.

Washington state and Oregon state seem to be touting pretty impressive start wages as well for those with three or more years experience in hvac related fields.

However , that's just a forecast. I myself would be bottom of totem pole up until at least 2018 anyway and in any geographical location. Therefore i do not qualify for the higher wages in hvac just yet.

The wife and i travel and work full time in various construction fields and stay signed up with many job services across the country. Seems like we look at lots of jobs and wage statistics in the course of our travels.

However, be as NC. Is our home base its the land of the minimum wage for everything.

I work in the Raleigh area. Here you will find the busiest companies, most wealthy customer base, and highest wages in the state. Hell, I drive from 45 minutes to work everyday simply because the pay is so low where I live, and I don't live in a small town. Raleigh, Durham, Cary just pays much better.

Could you tell me what a journeyman HVAC tech working on commercial only gets paid please.

Brady Trane definitely pays over $30.00 dollars an Hour and easily to $34.00 hr. It is strictly commercial, industrial and institutional work. They are currently hiring NOW. Residential experience will not get you an interview. Seems that chiller experience is a must.
